Man LOVE the opening with Mary/Van and the memories of her sexcapades! That was so well done and I loved them all making that connection. Amazing job with that, really.

 

The police were busier than the doctors in this hospital! Rox gets arrested first. And still threatening Hillary. 

 

I really liked the interaction with Paul and Dru. Felt real and genuine.

 

And then more confrontations. The action never stops in GC!

 

Im kinda glad Leslie got one over on Sister Patterson and she was one of the arrests! LOL. "May god have mercy on that wig!" LMAO quote of the week.

 

And then I was not expecting this cat fight with Phyllis and Dru. Hell that wasnt even a cat fight that was a knock down drag out fight. UFC eat your heart out. A nice culmination of  a build for those two. 

 

I am glad Dru learned about Neil for a moment and looks like we may learn the fate of Nate but man I'm more so interested in the fate of Neil. I really gotta know this. He flatlined two episodes ago!

 

Even after all of the climaxes in V Lou and Malcolms shooting this may be the most intense episode yet! Loved it. Especially the way you crafted the opening.

oooo did I love this one.

 

Good to see a little brotherly love with Allen and Tyrone.

 

A lot of the focus was on Bridget and Michele and this story interests me so much. I can always feel the layers and its awesome. Poor Vicky thinking about Jake before Michele walked in. I believe Michele is genuine about not wanting to hurt her sister but of course she was and maybe still is so angry and imo rightfully so. 

 

I really love Donna and her interest for what is best for the family. The similarities bewteen marley vs Vicky and now Michele vs Bridget continue to be awesome. LOL at Michael still learning how to text. Poor ol chap.

 

Niceeee sex scenes with Cory and Bridget! Condoms and all. The scenes were really well done and also go to show the vixen and Bridget and Michele showing up to the house at the end after all this sex. Im both looking forward to but afraid of what Bridgets next step is about to be..

 

Great ep. I love this story!

Enjoyed the scenes with Krystal and Marissa. Krystal being very ominous with her daughter. I wonder if Krystal really is predicting her own future. Hmmm. Intrigued.

 

I was hoping that Brooke would get to go see Skye but Adam is trying to be controlling. This all might start backfiring in his face and I hope that it does. I hope Adam doesnt stop her this time and she gets to confront Skye.

 

Awesome cause for Lily to be involved this. A nice thing to touch on! I like the use of history.

 

JR wants visits with AJ. I doubt Colby will help him but I guess we shall see.

 

I liked how most of these scenes were character driven. Good job 

Greenlee is lashing out in her ranting which is understandable but is not going to help her out. I wonder if she and Annie will have a showdown comin

 

Nice talk with Angie and Joe about Opal. Im glad Angie has all of this faith in the treatment and I hope she is right.

 

A new Lily has arrived back into town. I wonder what she will bring to the show.

 

This Skye stuff is very interesting. It has me intrigued just why she is back in town. I also like that Brooke is being nosy about it. Looking forward to their next scenes together and of course Adam is always in the mix too so this is interesting...

 

 

I loved this.

 

Gotta love this power struggle with Nick and Sami. Wonder what is up with Nicks head pain though. Maybe all this trying to out think everyone is getting to him. Or it could be a lot worse than that. As always, great Nick scenes.

 

Valerie! Yes. I really enjoyed that whole redebut for her. Awesome board meeting. Wonder what Steve is doing in Africa tho hmm. I also laughed at Marlenas line about it being a very very long story for her and Roman. This will be fun.

 

I have to say you did awesome with that Rafe and Jordan scene. Nice and steamy. Loved it. And then enter Jerome. Adding yet another great element to this show. Looking forward to finding out this history between Jordan and Jerome. 

 

As always you do a fantastic job of weaving together these stories and I am quite excited for what lies ahead. 

I'm glad you gave a lot of background on Maggie from the past to let me know a little bit about her. I wonder what she will bring to the table. 

 

I like the closeness with Sharlene and John and her supporting him to be the chief of staff. Russ also going for the job is a nice twist. I do know some of the history there with those 3 from youtube episodes. So this could be fun. 

 

Im not as clear on the history with Russ and Iris and their grandson. I do like every time someone mentions Iris Spaulding money tho lolol

 

I like how giddy Felicia is about this newly found grandson...her drink she had should be kicking in any moment now tho...

 

At least Devin and Carl got to have this moment. That should be good for Devin, right? Tho i have a feeling he will be quite rough around the edges.

Helluva hectic family scene to start the show! I dont know why but I love Rox kicking Hillarys ass. Granted, Im sure she went too far but I liked it. I wonder how Spencer and Leslie will deal with what just happened between them. And what an awesome video opening to go with it..

 

It was nice to see Daniel and Phyllis and Daisy. I found Phyllis her obnoxious self with both her reaction to Daisy and to finding out the news about Avery. 

 

Damn Scotty is just horny AF right now. Nice use of flashback. That was a good scene back then to really describe how Scotty was feeling. He is such an interesting character. I like these struggles he is going through and look forward to seeing where they lead. Checking out Noah too, yikes.

 

Poor Dru will someone tell her that Neil just flatlined FFS!

 

At least Nick and Noah finally found out about Sharon. I liked Daisys reaction to Lily showing shades of her mommy Sheila.

 

Im glad Mary is still alive! I really dig that Ho.

 

Great stuff and some great dialogue as always!

 

and thank you very much for the shout out!

This was a solid episode.

 

Some sweet scenes with David, Cara and their kid. At least this gives a human side to David who always seems to be up to something like he is now.

 

Lovedddd the skye and Brooke stuff. Really glad that you had Skye looking for Stuart. Nice touch there and a nice touch up on her past. Is she really changed? I guess we as well as Brooke will see. 

 

Jesse wants to combine cases. Hmm interesting. I wonder how Jesse plans on finding Emma and Annie. I do want to see where this goes and if the cases do combine. 

 

Happy that Joe has found a drug that could work for Opal. Hopefully it actually does!

I really dig this Nicole and Nick little rivalry and all their squabbles. Nick is too smart for his own good. Now he is going at Sami too. May be pushing his luck.

 

Will and Alex feeling some heat between them. Quite literally even too. Sonny better watch out. This could turn bad for the kiriakis clan quickly. 

 

I wonder if Anita can be trusted like ML. I am pointing towards not even tho I ike her because I like the actress. I suspect something much bigger is going on with this Brady story tho. 

 

A Maxine sighting and her interaction did sound a whole lot like Maxine. Laura seems to be becoming a nervous wreck and it looks like Kayla is about to head off for now. 

 

I like the complication with some of these crossover stories. Nick, Nicole, Victor, Hope, Gabi and now Will and Alex and there more too. I cant help but like Nick and wish he and Nicole were more of a tag team even though I guess they really are a tag team begrudgingly. Is Vic really going down? hmmm

 

Always good to see parts of the Michele and Bridget story. It is still probably my favorite. Awesome use of the selfie and Facepage. I am so excited to see what comes out of this. Bridget is certainly up to something devious. I hope Michele is prepared for it. I;m glad she has someone on her side in Elizabeth. 

 

Vicky and Jake had a tense confrontation. Jake always mad about his children which is commendable. He really seems to want a divorce and I have to say I am glad Vicky is hot about it. I still find myself more on her side.

 

Devin was straight up with Carl and it made for some amazing scenes. They were really great, man. Just plain Raw. I love how you are dealing with this issue. Felicia also coming in and finding out about Devin too. I wonder when her druggedupness will hit..

 

Like I have been saying I like these interconnected scene cuts. Makes for a good read like ML said. 

 

Great ep!

 

The chaos continues in GC!

 

I loved Drus reunion with her sister and her daughter. Leslie finding it sketchy and then of course Sister Patterson making her presence known. Her and Dru could probably be good friends rofl. 

 

"Watch your mouth talking around an angel"

"If its Sheila attack her!"

lmao good lines

 

I like Rafe wanting more out of Scotty and Scotty still thinking about Mary who very well could be dead and lead him to the path of the D.

 

Leslie has now met Hilary. And Rox has arrived. That could be firedworks in the next episode.

 

Avery coming in blind but where are the other victims?! :O

 

And Neil flatlining at the end right as Dru asking about him :(

He best not die because I will picket outside of CBS and send various e mails to Steve Kent of sony!!! lolol

 

A lot of aftermath still to come. The build is great and still edge of our seat stuff. This has been a brilliant build, climax and now aftermath!

Very cool to see Noelle back in Salem. It has been a long time. A cool choice for someone to have brought back as the show has forgotten about Neil and company. I look forward to learning more about Noelle and just who she is now that she is an adult. You did a wonderful job with Marlena. Sounded just like Marlena and was touching dealing with Neils death.

Its good to see Tyler again. And looky who Will is reporting too. Hopefully an Alex that is Justins son and not one with an obscure relation to the family! lol. This should really get Sonny in more of a tizzy! Also love all the comments about Wills new appearance still ha

Im really loving these Nicole and Nick scene. The back and forth banter is funny and all the trying to one up the either. Nick as usual is one step ahead.

Awesome new additions and I am intrigued by how Alex and Noelle will play into the canvas. Good stuff!

I'm digging these quick interconnected scene cuts you did in the last episode and in this one. Joy thinking about Steven but trying to hide her shadiness. Meanwhile Steven telling Vicky about him falling for Joy...Vicky then calling her sister to talk about her concerns about Steven falling for the likes of Joy. Im glad you touched upon the past with Joy again. Im not sure how I feel about this Joy and Steven pairing yet but I do want to see where it goes.

Devin confronting Carl is building well. Some history here expounded upon. I wonder what Carl can say to make Devin feel better about the whole situation. Their scenes in the next episode should be really good.

A tightly focused episode really focusing heavily on 2 stories. Looking forward to more of this confrontation and definitely looking forward to this big party too.

So Cara wants to give David joint custody. Wonder how this will work out. Seems like a rash decision on her part, but maybe it will bring them some peace apart or even together.

I enjoyed the Erica and Kendall scene. Very nice use of flashback. I like that Kendall is trying to reach out and Erica is feeling bad about what went down with her alcohol tainted drink.

And oh lord Annie has a bomb. And she mentioned needing to do something to Bianca... This doesnt sound like it will turn out well.

Seemed like less was going on in this episode but thats not necessarily a bad thing. I'm glad we got some one on one character interactions. And the calm before the storm perhaps?

The intensity continues as the hits just keep on coming!

A lot going on so lets see:

Enjoyed the first scene with Dru and all of her Dru like elation. That pic of Avery is gold LOL. Who else went down with the cabin? Damn.

Glad Neil finally made it to the hospital. Loved all the exchanges with Lily, Devon, Leslie and sister Patterson. Still waiting for the day Leslie goes at sister Patterson. The tension keeps building between those two. I feel for Olivia. I hope she did wipe her nose those.

Lauren and Scotty catching up. Scotty not knowing if he wants some P or some D, but he'll take either. I like it. Wonder where Scotty goes from here.

Glad to see Hillary has a conscience. I don't feel for her in the least tho. Maybe she will grow from this whole event.

By god Cane sold the kids for drugs! wow. The revelations keep turning for this family one after another!

Leading to the end with Dru! Freakin love it!!!!

Awesome cliffhanger and already the start of some amazing aftermath.

The hits really do keep coming.

Well I loved several things even besides the actual story.

Your descriptions as always are spectacular! And you probably get sick of me saying this but it really does remind me so much of Marlands ATWT. Everyone is always actually working and and everything flows from episode to episode hitting beats.

Im glad Laura and Jennifer had that mother-daughter talk. If only Jenn could do the same with Abby soon.

Nick and Nicoles scene was superb. You captured both character perfectly. I could see all of that scene in my head and I like them both on this show so thats always a good thing.

Loveee what you have done with Sami and EJ. Perhaps if the show would have actually touched on these issues I wouldnt have hated EJami as much as I did. You are actually dealing with the rape and it has been a highlight of the entire show for me.

Laughed at Sonny reaction to Will being a new man. I also liked how he was being a happy jerk wanting to prove Sonny wrong. Like Ejami you have shot this couple in the arm too.

I think the best thing of it all is these people feel like real characters in character driven stories. Really like the way these stories are going!

You are doing some great work.

Amanda and Iris had a great exchange. You are writing the hell out of these business aspects. Im still torn on if Iris should do this and veddy interestin that Devin is in some kind of cahoots with Iris. Hmmm

I loved everything with Felicia. All the almost drinking. The phone call from Lorna. Sooo soapy, but Felicia did drink at the end. What will Christys next step be?

Lorna has come back pregnant. Who the daddy

I liked the history with Frankie and Carl. And at the end Devin comes to see his father Carl.

All these stories are flowing perfect! Great characters driving great stories. Doesnt get any better.

Good work on continuing the Asher and Caleb father/son dynamic. Asher doing his best to reach out to his dad. Wonder how this will work out.

I really like the idea of Erica staying at Kendells. And even better are some stories intermingling which is always a good thing!

Sucks for Marisa that Bianca couldnt make it back. Looks like work is going to cause a rift between them. Realistic.

Short Cara and David scenes but I look forward to the convo they are about to have.

Good episode. Nice to see Kendell and Erica scenes. Hope more stories intermingle.

I actually enjoyed the Rafe and Jordan scenes. They were pretty cute. All this Jordans worrying really makes me want to see Jerome Grant. I hope his arrival is ASAP.

I feel bad for Nicole as she tries her best to get through to Eric, but he stays stubborn in his faith. My favorite thing about all of this is how realistic it is. Erics faith in these situations is very real. Getting real on our arses!

I am torn on this Billie and Daniel thing. Cuz dirty Dan is annoying, but Im on Billies side so far on this Billie vs Kim thing over Theresa, but I want Dan and Billie to get caught so Dan loses his license. Tough choice. Wonder how it will turn out.

The JJ and Laura scenes got intense. Laura is freaking the F out. Wonder what it could be and what Laura is going to do to find out about Abby. That ending got very engrossing in the fear of the characters.

Good episodes. I'm very excited about where these stories are going. Hitting all the right notches and bring on the Grants!

Where to beginnnn

I liked the feeling throughout the whole episode of what/who will we see next. Not knowing who is alive and who is dead.

Nice start with Phillip coming right up. Its hard to believe how many characters are in peril right now. Glad to see Phillip is okay, but now we are concerned about the twins.

Sister Patterson and her damn third eye rofl. I'm surprised Lauren didnt kick her in her third eye.

Avery coming out blind. Hmm.

Meanwhile, Neil still is lying in his death as the paramedics from JER's passions slowly get him to a hospital. At this rate I dont like the poor guys chances! Nice reactions to everyone who saw Nate in his condition. Hillary getting that guilt like she should. Olivia going through a lot of pain right now poor woman. I liked Paul in those scenes. He wasnt in them much but I could picture everything he did and said perfectly.

Dru lives! Glad that she won that battle with Sheila. But that ending looking for Sharon. Great way to end it.

Loved it as always! Always bringing the excitement. Must see soap.

Really lovin where these stories are going.

Great seeing KC again! And she is gonna have a little date with the youngest Stenbeck son. Love it. I really like these two characters so this is gonna be fun.

I like how charlie was the soft one with Eric while Kirkland nice and fiery. A joy to see Kirkland and Charlie too. Nice interacting of stories.

I dont know how I feel about this merger idea. I think it would be stupid of her to take up on it and she already has the upper hand tho im sure of course she wants her hand in her father company. I just hope she keeps all the power.

Then we get Christy coming for Felicia. I liked the voice over before the opening. And a great hilarious line to end the show on!

Awesome episode with so many of my faves!!!

Pretty solid episode.

Stuart and Marian was the highlight for me. Really sweet scene between the two of them. I really enjoyed being able to feel the closeness between them.

What the hell is Adam up to now...with Skye lolol. Intrigued to see where that goes.

Caleb and Asher wanting two seperate things. I wonder who will get their way. Me thinks Asher.

Still hoping Dixies promise to Tad is true and Opal pull through. She is an entertaining character.

And of course I love me some Liza and Erica scenes! Those two are entertaining as always. Good work.

Also really cool closing vid

Well this turned out to be a big episodes in my opinion!

I'm gonna start with Gabi and Hope. Nick sure does seem to be putting holes all into Gabis plan. Hope/Salem PD falling short no doubt lolz.

Cool interactions with Justin and Billie. I like when characters that don't usually interact too much have a great interaction and this was one. I feel for Billie trying to find a way to see Theresa. One can tell that she really cares about her.

I love the descriptions in the will and sonny scenes. You are so good at that. Sonny's eyes reacting to the light and all. Good stuff. I like that Sonny is in the dog house. Very true to life. Theyve been having some really good scenes lately.

Now to the big shock! Thought he was down about Roman or something. Was so not expecting this from Eric but it totally makes so much sense. I like that Nicole was trying her best to get through to him but his beliefs seem very strong. This is a very interesting turn in the story. I am really looking forward to to see where this leads.

Awesome episode! Love how character driven it all is. Its all built up so great, man.

Pretty jam packed episode.

I liked how happy Jesse was to learn that he is having a grand child. A nice happy scene with he and Brot. I liked it.

There must be something in the pine valley water as Amanda is pregnant too! Good for her and Jake.

JR and Scott getting a little tense. I wonder if that will lead to something explosive. Hmm

Stuart growing a backbone is good. I do wonder if he can keep it up. Really looking forward to him and Marian.

And then we have the awful news about Opal. I dont want her to die so I hope Angie & company can save her life.

Incredible episode. Idk if I can express exactly what I thought but Ill try. You just really do a fantastic job of these families. You can just feel the connections. Its really wonderful. Whether its happiness or sadness it all comes through and each of your families feel like home.

I loved that whole back and forth first half. Carl with Matt and Rachel with amanda. A cool way for you to do that and them both find out what is going on simultaneously. Nice touch

Cute scenes with Cass and Frankie. Happiness coming through here. They both seem natural together. Two different text messages though at the end. Wonder what each will lead to.

I really liked seeing the softer side of Iris and all of the history there brought up. Im glad Iris and Rachel got to share a moment.

And here we are. The big arrival of Devin. It seems like a big one and I am quite looking forward to what you do with this character...
